LAST-MINUTE CHARLIE
It’s once again the night before
And he’s got nearly nothing…
His wife is staging something big
To prove to him her loving.
–
At Christmas, ’twas different (?)
But now ’tis Valentines…
He’d better think of something fast
Or he’ll step on land mines.
–
He’ll get a card, some potted soil
And sugar-free chocolates to eat…
This weekend, they’ll visit the shelter,
A new cat would be sweet!
